Japan’s fintech market is expected to grow from $33.6 million to $563 million in the next five years as a result of recent regulation and incentive changes by the Japanese government. These policy shifts, combined with growing public interest in accessible banking technologies, have created a competitive market for domestic and foreign fintech companies interested in establishing a product presence in Japan.
